it means the fuel tank pressure sensor has detected vacuum in the tank when there shouldn't be any. This means either the purge solenoid is leaking when closed, or the tank pressure sensor itself is at fault and giving a false reading to the PCM , check ur gas cap as well if its tightly sealed or not
